The eyes float,
nestled in a cradle of tears,
tears that rise and fall
as emotions sculpt the tide

Love's soulful gaze
sways in hammock of wet lashes,
awaits tender push from mate
that can stir the inner light

The eyes close
as hungry lips exact a kiss,
pupils flutter in the dark,
dance to the rhythm of love

Mirrors of the soul,
misted by brazen breath,
reflect soft hazy movement,
a light-headed luminescence



c) Chris Butler 2000
